- 1.25 ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total tickets = 1172,

In which every ticket costs $ 2, also, three prizes will be awarded 1 for $ 500, 1 for $250 and 1 for $125.

$\because \text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}$

Thus, we can make a table that represents the given situation,

Number of tickets 1 1 1 1169

Probability of ticket 1/1172 1/1172 1/1172 1169/1172

Price of ticket $ 500 $ 250 $ 125 - $ 2

( Note : Negative sign shows the loss, i.e. if we could not get any price then we have a loss of $ 2 )

Thus, the expected value of a ticket

$=\frac{1}{1172}\times 500+\frac{1}{1172}\times 250+\frac{1}{1172}\times 125+\frac{1169}{1172}\times -2$

$=\frac{500}{1172}+\frac{250}{1172}+\frac{125}{1172}-\frac{2338}{1172}$

=-1.24829351536

$\approx -1.25$
